President Trump shared a lengthy post on TruthSocial claiming that the beloved director had a "raging obsession" with him. He wrote, "Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS."
Before the race start, this year's course was originally rerouted near its finish line, between Les Houches, France, and Chamonix, because of landslides on the trail along the Arve River, and then just prior to the race start, the race organization rerouted off an exposed section between La Gittaz and Beaufort, France, 73 kilometers into the race, because of anticipated storms. The new route didn't lose much distance but lowered the total elevation gain and made final race times significantly faster.
